Defining the focus means that we're going to kill the sub. Mods will have no idea which leads or speculation will take us in the right direction. When we start with strong arm moderation even with the best intentions you end up killing off the type of discussion that got us to where we are.
I guarantee mods will roll out the "don't be antisemitic" card really quick if and when we touch on jewish sources (i.e. all of hollywood). And as such, you'll lose the trail in Israel, even though the president of Israel just happened to be able to declassify docs from the 50's that validate much of what we are saying. The mods will start wanting us to be "taken seriously" and will kill anything that they consider speculation, or they will direct conversation to a dead subverse that no one will visit.
And every time the mods kill a thread under whatever rules they come up with, they will kill off a little more of the community that makes original content and research. Soon, things will be stale and everyone will wonder why the investigation isn't moving forward.
